If you could play with any band or individual musician...

Sign in to disble this ad
Who or which band would you play with? Why? What would you play on and how well do you think and your bass would fit in musically? Do you think you could add something to the music?

Without hesitation I'd say the Pat Metheny Group. Their music is indescribable, if I were a professional musician I'd want make music the way Pat Metheny and Lyle Mayes do.

I think that I would play a 6 or 7 string electric most of the time and an upright when it's needed. I'm confident that I would be a complete mess though when it comes to memorizing the song structures, lol. I don't think I could add anything to the music but it would be interesting to hear the bass take on a more melodic role in some of their music.

arcade fire. i know, not a "bass-centric" band really, but i could do at least as well as the current player musically speaking. i think my soul would be in it as much as anyone else's though, and i think that would be the difference

Frank Zappa or Between the Buried and Me.

If I had the opportunity today, I wouldn't be able to handle it, but if God himself came down from the heavens and promised me a chance as soon as he thought I was ready, I'd never put my bass down again.

Since I listen to a lot of folk music these days, I would probably get my acoustic-fretless bass guitar and play a tour with Al Stewart. He usually only plays guitar with another guitarist accompanying him, so I would fit in.
A tour playing with Great Big Sea or Marillion would be cool as well.

I:'ve always wanted to play with Jerry Garcia and the Dead...I think my style is more "focused and aggressive" than Phil, and it might be an interesting combination. And I would play my new Spector..
